I believe that from the very start you have to set the "rules and guidelines" to your maid, whichever nationality she is from. Tell them the do's and dont's. Also not to be too comfy with them at first as this usually creates problems later when you start enforcing rules and regulations of the house. Believe me, been there, done that...
I recently caught my maid letting a male friend inside the house whilst my husband and myself are at work..and she is supposed to be taking care of my 1 year & 3 months old daughter. She was a big disappointment to us and we feel that the breech of trust has been broken. However, it is too difficult to find a replacement.
Nevertheless, I would still prefer a filipina maid...because I am a filipa myself..and because I know how hardworking we can be...but I would have to learn from my mistake...maybe I have been too accommodating and friendly afraid of getting her homesick, as this is usually the case.
